I've been on a Pinterest recipe kick!

I made this buffalo chicken pasta salad, but I used ranch dressing instead of blue cheese. It was a hit! The picky eater enjoyed it!

I also made this fancy grilled cheese and again the picky eater liked it.

I made this pie for a Fourth of July party. It was really quick to make, but it wasn't one I'd be wanting over and over again.

Everyone kept pinning this recipe and calling it "OMG Chicken." We tried it and it was just OK, not great.

This Taco Pasta was super easy and really good, and everyone (including kids) loved it. I added cheddar cheese.

Made thiscrockpot chicken dish last night. Wasn't bad. I think I will up the red pepper flakes next time to give it more heat. It was a little bland w/o and the sauce did not thicken up for me as the recipe stated. DS would not even try to eat the chicken. He didn't like the rice at all and spit it out.

Recipes I've tried that are winners in my book:
Buffalo Chicken Bites A little messy, but really tasty.
Crock Pot Ranch House Porkchops Hands down, my absolute favorite. So easy.
Corn dog muffins I use a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix instead of making my own.
Lemon Chicken Soup Good on a cold day.
Apple Pie Crumble Bars Heavenly. Pretty much everything from Annie's Eats is.
Spicy Chicken Rigatoni Tastes better than Buca's, IMO.
Chile Colorado Burritos Another quick and easy crock pot meal.
Bowtie Fiesta Delicious, and pretty quick to throw together.Crispy baked sweet potato fries Kind of a PITA, but so worth it.
S'mores brownies Yum, yum, yum. I use a boxed mixed for the brownies instead of homemade.
Southwestern pizza with black beans and cornI like kooky pizza combinations, and this is really good.

I am on a roll-- made this unfortunately named chicken dish /(which I called dijon maple chicken when I pinned it). It was good. For baked chicken. I used breasts instead of thighs, and shortened the baking time to 35 minutes which had them cooked through but still moist, so that was good. The sauce burned into the pan, so I might make extra next time to have some sauce left to spoon over at the end. And I will definitely use tin foil to line the dish next time---I'm not sure my hippie all natural detergent is going to deal well with this at all.

I made this on Monday and it was SO GOOD. Super easy, too!

Sausage and Bean Soup w/Ditalini pasta! On the stove now-

I used can cannellini beans(couldn't find the dry) and also added some seasoned southern beans to it & some diced ham. I used the Italian sausage, instead of ground Pork/Turkey. I also don't like chunky tomatoes, so I strained them & used the juice-wasn't much, but poured a can of tomato soup to supplement it. Looks like a hearty soup.

here's the site were it's from- www.theitaliandishblog.com

A friend brought these Baked Nutella Swirl Doughnuts to our book club meeting today. They were SO GOOD. I asked her for the recipe and she said she found it on Pinterest. Sure enough, I found that I'd already pinned them! Well, now I can vouch for them-- delicious.

I've made these with amazing success:
http://simplylovefood.blog.com/2012/...ffed-peppers/#
success for me = 3 of the 4 of us gobbled them up. My 6 yo ate a whole one herself. YDD had hfm, so she wasn't eating much.

I'm making this tonight:
http://iowagirleats.com/recipes/supe...n-vinaigrette/
with nectarines instead of oranges and no pomegranates. I'll report back!

I made the pepper ones and was unimpressed. They were bland IMO. I have some ideals to tweak it though, was a good starting point.

I made these pancakes this morning http://iambaker.net/the-best-zucchini-pancakes/ substituting whole oat flour for the all purpose flour and using Florida Crystals as sugar. They turned out really good and DS loved them. I did find them too sweet for my taste so next time I'll use maybe a third or fourth cup of sugar instead of a cup. I will also experiment more with the flour. The oat flour worked out well but I'll try half oat and half spelt next time and then maybe all spelt.

Does anyone here, have a great Butterbeer recipe that they've tried and have made & is similar to the one found at Universal? I loved the 'frozen' version of it!!!

I've pinned some, but haven't tried any yet.
